End the War Convention Edition

Obamamania continues. But the number one priority is still end the war.

The sooner we can end the war, the better. "Your son died because we had to wait six months to leave Iraq while we had an election."

Joe Biden's son appears to be fixing to join John McCain's son in Iraq. I wonder whether that was a factor in the choice.

I have a Fosters (Aussie brand, but American beer brewed by union labor in Texas) and a microbrew pale ale cooling in the fridge for the great man's speech. Bill Clinton set a high bar for Obama. I tell ya, if I were McCain, I would be scared about Bill Clinton getting out on the stump, telling people that Barack Obama will return our economy to its strong position like when he was president, and that by the way, Barack is a year older than Clinton was when he was elected.

One of the PBS guys said something like "Reminds you of what it is like to have a president who blah blah blah". I don't remember what he said, but it wasn't very significant. Now if he would have said "Reminds you what it is like to have a president who isn't a complete idiot", or "Reminds you what it is like to have a president who is sharp as a tack, extremely articulate, and totally engaged in the job," it would have been meaningful. But there was probably a Bush functionary waiting to pull the plug if he said something like that. (Maybe it did happen, and what we got was cover up babble after 10 second delay.)

What the fuck was CBS doing putting Romney on for the Democrats. I sure as fuck hope they don't put Edwards on during the Republicans. Would Hillary or Bill go on during the Republicans? If so, maybe they could remind viewers of the Ron Paul convention.

Hey guys, don't forget to end the war.
